The phrase \"trace my deep footsteps\" is a truly inspired line... many of us leave barely a trace... deep footprints indicate a life fully lived...

never learn anything by half ..
I sense both a compelling and constraining pleasure, but not maybe in equal measures and with a whole lot of intrigue thrown in .. a jolly good read old chap ... Neville

there are those that say the last cut is the deepest ..

but we all know that it\'s just the beginning, don\'t we .. a fine narrative that bites deep and leaves a sting behind it .. Neville

CRAZED and CONFUSED
Bobby O said:

It’s all made up. I just pretended that a woman dumped me as hard as thst is to believe it could happen???! And I don’t even know what a dromedary is?

LIZ said:

Painful to read, but oh so raw. I think this one\'s my favorite from you, because it feels the most real. Mmmm not necessarily a waste of time. We always focus on the aftermath. What about the good times? But, what do I know!!! This is beautifully heartfelt!!! Glad you shared it!!!

SOX FANS SHOULD HIDE
MendedFences27 said:

Wow! !\'m impressed with your rapping skill. You have my sympathy, and I know how you feel, for I am a Sox fan, but of the Red persuasion. We too are now on a downward trend. Today\'s players and teams are all about the money.
Your rap shows what happens when a great team becomes lost due to insufficient funding. Maybe there should be a limit on salaries and expenditures. - Phil A.

SOX FANS SHOULD HIDE
Bobby O said:

No, I was at a party and some kids were freestyling Rappin’ and when it’s your turn they give you a subject matter and I asked to join in and cause I was talking bout BB earlier with a few of them that was my assigned subject. They didn’t even believe I could or would do it and one of them recorded me and the poem here is my exact freestyle. The kids were surprised, but it’s something I can do , mostly..

SOX FANS SHOULD HIDE
Bobby O said:

The kids are always surprised that an old man can hold his own in that arena. It’s fun and I’m careful I don’t step up to those w monster talent. These guys weren’t ready

I saw the courage before I read your comments.. bold and rough, rugged like Whitman, musical like Ginsburg. Carry on sir. A good one to re-read!

FATED HERO FAKED
Bobby O said:

A departure from accustomed style. Trying to be braver and not so dependent on constant rhyme. Appreciate the kind word. It means a lot. I’ve got some good examples of talent to stretch toward, yourself on top list.

Great read Bobby
Sounds really personal rather than historical
Like a coward dies a thousand deaths
And you savored every one

MONK and MY AUNT
Parisab said:

The hyper focus on being present among the spirit of jazz in the ‘hazed fog’ and the ‘pervasive funk’ can bring nothing but the mastery of jazz consumption, as it is meant to be-I’m sure the jazz heroes may have hoped for exactly this type of intimacy and commitment -thanks for the write as always
